    Hmmm, very interesting concept. it is amazing how the country of Iceland is using social media to write its constitution. That is how it should be meant to be written, by the masses of that respective country. Crownd sourcing is a fine way to see something tested that you have done and what to work on. awesome infograph. Love this!

    I couldn’t agree more with the five reasons you have listed why a business needs a crowd to run and power its operations and services. In fact, crowd sourcing has been so popular that even big companies like Hewlett Packard, NBC, and AOL noticed its benefits by hiring contractors from these organizations to run some of its projects. The industry was able to change how business perceives hiring people away from the office. Companies are able to save money by giving up additional office spaces and furniture, and achieve multiple projects at a lower cost because the number of hours a “freelancer” devotes can be tracked accordingly. With the number of people involved in this kind of service, businesses get various ideas to choose from according to their needs and their prerogatives.

    Excellent Infographic on crowdsourcing. Thank you very much for this work. I still think it could be utilized more within any type of business and business process.

    You are really good at infographics I'm a big fan of visual aids. Iceland is bouncing back this time with no debt. The US talking heads say we are in a rebound now with the stock market booming but all the old debt is still there. My questions is, How far can a paper air plane fly? Hey do you know who won the 1st annual #IBCT? Do you agree with the selection?
  5. Sara says:
    I think as you say, that crowd has very power and can decide whose content worthy and with the internet expansion, people are more aware of what is good and reliable on the net and are also a good criterium whether your blog is doing well.Greece should do the same like Iceland!All these statistics are worthy of our attention.Thanks for sharing.

    woah this is a really good post. love the graphics. What else do you think we could learn from Iceland's handling of the financial crisis?
    • Jonha Revesencio says:
      Hi Jacko, Glad you like the post and thanks for sharing it on your Twitter page too. I think Iceland’s strategy in bouncing back after the huge financial crash that they suffered back in 2008 was a good one. They’ve managed to address their financial problem along with other constitutional and communication problems that they have by crowdsourcing their new constitution across social media channels. We can learn that problems could be solved through true paradigm shift. By the way, I didn’t know about IBCT until I’ve read your post
